Hello. I do not own a DVD burner and I am pretty unfamiliar with the technology. I want to copy home movies from mini DV tapes to DVD, for preservation. I have a miniDV camera, pinnacle firewire card, studioDV version 1.xx, a dell dimension XPS T500 with a 1.1 ghz evergreen processor upgrade. Using studio DV I can capture video from the miniDV cam to AVI files, that are about 200MB per 1 minute of video.
I'm considering buying the new Sony DVD burner which burns -R, -RW, +R, and +RW formats.
My questions are:
1) with this setup, can I burn DVDs from miniDV successfully?
2) I know I need new DVD authoring software, and I want to know which package is actually compatible with all 4 DVD formats. It's hard to figure out what the software packages are actually capable of from their websites. I am not so much interested in adding lots of effects and things like that, I am more interested in compatibility and overall functionality.
Thanks in advance.
